FedEx Freight | Poll - Survey Question What Needs Improving - Poll

[SwampRatt]

The upcoming "Voice of the Team Member Survey" is due April 1st - April 15th. They are going to ask what we think, what improvements we'd like to see, etc. It wouldn't hurt to be prepared.

It might be wise, beneficial, or at least interesting, to try and get most on the same page. This poll is an effort to get everyone to think about how you might answer the questions.

Keep in mind, despite the spin - there is an ongoing windfall, for as long as the voter approved Trump Tax Cuts remain in effect.

Note: You can make up to 3 selections.

Although I wish I could vote for the top 4 it is nice to see everyone is roughly on the same page.

Sorry new to posting but been around since 08 during the great realignment. You guys have very good information that of course Ops management has no clue.

If you went to any of our hubs at night, you would realize we have a lot of NASCAR driver wannabes. They need that logo on there sleeves, just sayin

The only thing I would change is put a yellow stripe on there ass so we know who’s who?

One pay scale, the top one. You have drivers meeting at the same yard, and one is making almost $5hr more than the other. There's a driver shortage? ****ing prove it! Attract a younger generation with promise of security, and retain the experienced tallent you habe.

Insurance is reasonably priced,,,, just as long as you dont use it.

How about pressing Vanguard to let Fx employees buy stock through them.

Why is it that we don't have that option?

Actually having a real Stock Purchase Benefit would be a welcome improvement. Our current "benefit" is no brokerage fee. The value of that is just above zero, as brokerage fees per trade are $5-$7.

Yeah, but 4 would have been too easy. Forces us to think about it. I wonder the result if we could only pick 2.

Wish we could have voted for anti bacterial hand soap.

I wear my older uniform shirts. Cant stand the newer material in the newer ones. Too bad we cant choose between the two.

Get rid of the bottom GPD tier and move all the centers it up to c tier

 

[LTLIndentured]

Start a union push again and it may happen. Otherwise Fred has no reason to just give it away

Same here, although faded, I’m not wearing that new silky feeling crap

OK

Kind of interesting. I like the shirts, graphics and all. Don't wrinkle, fade, and do clean up well. The pants on the other hand.. Not so much.

Worth noting, there are a couple of options on the shirts. Woven, fleece, standard. The woven (button up) version is a different material, and no bold graphics.

Then there's e-bay...

Bottom line: Chicks dig the FedEx uniforms.

One thing not mentioned in quite some time would be a 5th vacation week.

Yeah, it has a cost and would only benefit those with significant time in. But is also provides another "hook" to keep veterans from jumping ship, only to start over elsewhere with only 1 or 2 weeks.

Newer hires probably don't think much about it, so it may lack the mass appeal of the other perks.

A straight cash (quarterly?) safety bonus would line up nicely with the "safety above all" motto. If it reduced accidents, a cost benefit could be shown, as well.
